motivation players prove
There's still motivation there. I've still got things to prove. I'm going to always have something to prove in this league. I'm one of those players who's just got to keep fighting, and I'm not going to give up.
anybody guess name since
I just don't like the name 'captain.' Ever since I was little. I guess I'm a doer. I just do me. I don't like to tell anybody else what to do.
beat good maybe playoff supposed teams thinking
Maybe we aren't as good as we think we are. We keep thinking we're a playoff team, but we are getting beat by teams we're supposed to beat. We need to come out and play a little harder, play with a little sense of urgency. We have the talent.
everybody heat loses miami somebody three wins
If the Heat loses three and somebody wins three, they're right in second. But for right now (Detroit and Miami are) 1-2 and everybody is just chasing.
energy game lost night ready trying
It was just one of those night where we used a lot of energy trying to get to this spot. You know, it is just one game, one game out of a seven-game series. We lost the first one. We'll be ready for the next.
exposed fans missing onto picked players team voted year
I won't be picked by the fans because I'm not getting exposed like those guys. So I need to actually do work. Every year I'm going to have to come in and do my work. I'm not ever going to be one of those players who get voted onto the All-Star team after missing most of the season.
everybody familiar follow hoping lead nice people relief seen sit somebody tv watch wonder workers
A lot of them told me that they had seen me on TV and that it was nice to see a familiar face. If that makes somebody feel good, then here I am. You can't just sit there and watch it on TV and wonder what you can do to help. Everybody can help. I'm hoping that more people will follow the lead of the relief workers that are doing their part.
cent maybe next per
It's hurting. Maybe we can get it to 80 per cent before the next game.
basketball brand decided destroyed game played
As well as they played in Game 1, we thought we destroyed ourselves. We didn't play our kind of basketball. We didn't do anything we preached. We decided to come out here (last night) and play our brand of basketball.
beat defender lacking scared watch
I'm a taper. I'll usually watch how I can beat my defender, what my defender is lacking and what is he scared of.
players push speed
They are not going to need me to score. They are going to need me to push the ball, use my speed and get after it. They have so many players who can score.
allen contain focus player special stop trying
Philadelphia has a special player in Allen Iverson. We have to stop him and put our focus on him while trying to contain everyone else.
beat dominates perfect team
There's always that one team that dominates another team. For us to beat them, we have to play a perfect game.
decided foul hard plan threw
Actually, that wasn't the plan going in. Brendan just decided he was going to give a hard foul to let him know he was there. For some reason, that just threw him off a little bit.
